Narrative:
First leg of the trip with the captain flying the leg into oma which was reporting 10 sm sky clear. The entire flight up to and afterwards were non events. We were on a base leg to final for runway 14R; partially configured for landing; level flight; and the autopilot was engaged. While setting up for the visual that we were cleared for; we received a GPWS alert. The captain immediately turned off the autopilot; added power and initiated a climb. As soon as positive action was taken by the captain the GPWS warning went away. We could visually see the terrain that we knew initiated the GPWS message; at no time were we close to the terrain or in danger of contact with it. We continued to configure the aircraft; having a stable approach into 14R with no other events.once cleared for the approach we could have extended the base leg out farther; not flying over the only rolling terrain in omaha or stayed at a slightly higher altitude as to not set off the GPWS alert when we over flew the hilly terrain below.
